Calibre is fairly straight forward about that. I get ePub by preference, and it converts readily to Mobi. I've converted the odd Mobi to ePub, and that's worked well enough too.

On the Android tablet which is my principal eBook viewer, I use FBReader for Android. FBReader handles ePub, Mobi, and FB2 native, and PDF, DjVu and CBR/CBZ viia plugins, so I mostly don't have to care what format a book is in. (It does not handle titles with DRM, but I don't get those, and again I don't care.)

Worst case, once it's in ePub, I can bring it up in Sigil, an ePub editor, and fiddle. (Sigil's main use here has been adding working tables of contents to volumes which lacked them.)
